Alpha Unmanned Systems

Some #UAV #helicopters are designed to do only one type of mission with only one type of #payload. And that doesn't solve the overall problem. Being able to integrate any type of camera or sensor up to 4Kg into the A900 is key for many of our customers. And if it can be done in just a few minutes...imagine the possibilities! At Alpha Unmanned Systems we have designed a payload agnostic platform to raise the bar on #versatility, flexibility and make every mission a #success. 

¡Feliz Día de la Virgen del Carmen! Hoy celebramos con orgullo y gratitud a todos los hombres y mujeres que forman parte de nuestra Armada, rindiendo homenaje a su patrona, la Virgen del Carmen. Su dedicación y valentía son un ejemplo de compromiso y entrega al servicio de nuestro país.

"One-man-job". That's the definition of getting the A900 up and flying in less than 15 minutes... anywhere. Less #logistics, more #time for the things that really matter. #UAV #Helicopter

"So... how high can you fly?" This is one of the most common questions we've been asked recently. Is 10,000ft good enough for a 25kg MTOW #UAV #helicopter? At Alpha Unmanned Systems we think it is, and it's what we comfortably do when required. At this altitude, the A900 is really hard to see in the air and impossible to hear. Great for #surveillance, #anti-#smuggling operations or #ISR #missions both on land and at sea. Just watch out for the clouds ;)

Imagine not having to use heavy or massive vehicles to move your #UAV #helicopters around. Let alone depending on 3+ people to get it ready. At Alpha, when we talk about #versatility, we really mean it. Not just in the range of #payload types we can integrate. Or what +4h of autonomy can do for you... The A900's reduced size and weight means it fits anywhere and can be carried by just one person. There's no need to use large areas for #take-off and landing, the A900 can do it on small platforms, especially those on moving vessels. And since we don't have to move this massive truck anymore, we may as well use its trailer as a helipad for our flights.

With rain and wind, today's mission starts from the mainland. It's not summer everywhere! 😉 The majority of the A900's components are rated at least IP64, with the rest - especially the electronics - rated at IP67, making our #UAVs #weatherproof and ready for use in harsh climates. 

On the way to a new littoral and long-range #reconnaissance. The A900 #UAV #helicopter is particularly well-suited to #maritime situational #awareness operations because it can take off and land from small, moving platforms on vessels fully automatically. We were lucky with the weather today, but adverse climates and high seas are no problem for us!
